Can people who follow their faith continue to offer their homes to foster children? When state or local governments impose unnecessary regulations on Christian foster agencies, they cannot, and it’s the children in need of a loving, supportive home who lose out.

Sunrise Children Services, a nonprofit ministry associated with Baptists, is a licensed provider of foster care and other services in Kentucky. It might have to stop if the state tries to enforce a new contract provision that would force Sunrise to fit children with same-sex couples, contrary to its religious beliefs and long-standing practice.
